A CURT front trailer hitch allows you to use the front end of your vehicle for a variety of towing applications. They can be used for mounting a winch, a snow plow, a number of towing accessories and can even be used for some trailering applications. When space is limited, a front trailer hitch is commonly used to hold a cargo carrier, freeing up space inside the vehicle for extra cargo and making the rear mount receiver available to pull a trailer. At the boat ramp, your boat trailer can be hitched up to the front receiver hitch, giving you better control over the trailer as you launch. Some of the other accessories that can be used with a front tow hitch are the CURT winch mount, step pad, license plate holder, spare tire mount, skid shield and tow hooks. All CURT front trailer hitches provide a useful receiver tube to accept a 2" x 2" shank, and they are commonly used on trucks, vans and SUVs. This front trailer hitch is rated for 5,000 lbs. GTW and 500 lbs. TW. It also has a straight-line pull rating of 9,000 lbs. It is designed to be a custom trailer hitch for certain years of the Ford F150 (to verify your vehicle compatibility, see application info). It comes with all necessary hardware for a complete installation and is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

The CURT 2" Front Receiver Hitch, Select Ford F-150 Trailer Hitch (Part #BKDK31026) fits 1992-1996 Ford F-150 models. The 1996 model year is the last year covered by this part number. For newer models, check for an updated version.
Yes, the CURT 2" Front Receiver Hitch, Select Ford F-150 Trailer Hitch (Part #BKDK31026) is designed to fit the 1992-1996 Ford F-150.
The CURT 2" Front Receiver Hitch, Select Ford F-150 Trailer Hitch (Part #BKDK31026) fits the following vehicles: 1992-1996 Ford F-150. Always verify your specific year, make, and model before ordering.
The CURT 2" Front Receiver Hitch, Select Ford F-150 Trailer Hitch (Part #BKDK31026) Drilling is required for installation. Typical installation time is 30-60 minutes. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Part number 31026 is designed for 1992–1996 Ford F-150 and F-250 trucks only. Verify your vehicle year and model before purchasing. Do not use on other vehicles.
The hitch has a gross load capacity of 5,000 lbs. trailer weight and 500 lbs. tongue weight when used as a weight-carrying hitch, and 9,000 lbs. maximum line pull when used for straight-line pull (recovery). However, you must not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower. Consult your vehicle owner's manual for the final limit.
The kit includes 4 serrated-flange nuts (1/2-13 UNC, Grade 8, part 20-00062) and 4 hex-head cap screws (1/2-13 UNC, 1-1/4 inch, Grade 8, part 10-10470). These fasteners attach the receiver assembly to the vehicle frame using the existing nut plate.
You will need a torque wrench capable of tightening to 110 lb.-ft., a socket or wrench to fit 1/2-inch fasteners, and a drill with a bit to enlarge the sway bar plate hole to 1/2 inch. The manual does not specify other tools required.
No, you do not need to remove the sway bar. You only need to remove the bolts that fasten the sway bar to the frame plate and discard them. The sway bar remains in place.
Yes. You must enlarge the hole in the sway bar plate to 1/2 inch. This is a permanent modification. Use a drill with an appropriate bit to enlarge the existing hole.
All 1/2-inch fasteners must be torqued to 110 lb.-ft. This applies to both the hex-head cap screws and serrated-flange nuts that attach the receiver assembly to the frame.
No. Step 2 instructs you to loosely fasten the receiver assembly to the frame using the existing nut plate and supplied hardware. Only in step 3 do you torque the 1/2-inch fasteners to 110 lb.-ft. This two-stage process ensures proper alignment before final tightening.
No. Never use a ball mount as an anchor point for a tow strap or winch cable. Severe personal injury or death could result. Use only OEM tow hooks, recovery eyes, or a clevis mount for attachment of tow straps or winch cables.
For maximum line pull rating, the winch cable must not exceed 15 degrees up or down from horizontal, and 45 degrees left or right from straight ahead. Exceeding these angles may overload the winch, winch mount, and/or front-mounted receiver.
Attach the return cable to the tow hook or recovery eye, not to the winch mount. Attaching it to the winch mount may overload the winch mount and/or front-mounted receiver.
You must not exceed the front axle Gross Weight Rating (GAWR) specified by your vehicle manufacturer. Consult your owner's manual or the specification plate on the driver's door frame. Measure gross front axle weight by placing the front wheels of the loaded vehicle on a scale. Exceeding GAWR may overload the front axle and/or suspension, resulting in accident, property damage, and personal injury.
Yes. Rear wheel traction may be reduced when the hitch is in use, which could affect handling. Reduce speed and drive with caution. Additionally, the hitch extends the front of the vehicle, which may reduce approach angle. Use caution when parking and maneuvering.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. The manual does not specify a retorque interval or other maintenance tasks.
